I've had this idea in the back of my head to do a project that systematically tracks values embedded in web or email reports. For instance, I get logwatch emails from the servers I admin, and each time one of those comes in I'd like to extract the disk free space and put it into a round-robin database. Or I want to track the rendering time for various key pages in a CMS. The problem is that the value isn't always in the same place. It might be a few lines down because of alerts or content that precede it. Or it might look different some days (ending in GB rather than MB). It's possible that some combination of regex and recurrence number ( 5th instance of /[0-9]*(MB|BG)/ ) could work, but it seems messy. We all probably do a little of this on an ad hoc basis, scraping values out of websites and whatnot. Does anyone do it a lot? What kind of tools do you use? Is Perl better suited to the task? Or sed+awk? Does anyone know of a system (preferably php) that does this in the general case?
